Mountain Men
Until the 1930s climbing was an activity of only a few privileged people. With the Depression, dole queues and unemployment many ordinary working men found, at an early age, an escape from the city in the mountains of Scotland.
They had very little money, no equipment or transport and in many cases, lived like tramps. From these humble beginnings many of them became first-class mountaineers.
Fifty years on. some of these Glasgow men tell their story and sing the HillbiIly songs they sang at the time. Taking part: Alistair Borthwick, Bob Grieve, Hamish Hamilton, Jock Nimlin, Alix Small and Tom Weir
